First Aid Essentials Every Home in Nairobi Should Have

Every home should maintain a basic first-aid kit for minor injuries and early response while arranging professional care.

Core kit items: plasters, sterile gauze, antiseptic, gloves, thermometer, scissors, tape, and emergency contacts. Families with children and chronic conditions should customise stock.

Store the kit in a dry, reachable, child-safe location. Check expiry dates monthly and replace used items promptly.

First aid is not a substitute for emergency care. Heavy bleeding, breathing problems, severe burns, head injury, fainting, and convulsions need urgent medical response.
